COMMENT: ‘Krrish 3’ to travel the dark side. With a bagful of Fair and Lovely.

Not content in merely ‘being inspired’ by Hollywood movies, Bollywood has now resorted to plagiarizing specific story elements of movies created by their counterparts out in California.

Reports say that Hrithik Roshan will not only kick baddie butt with some killer dance moves, he will fight himself as well in ‘Krrish 3’ the follow up to to, erm, ‘Krrish 2’.

Less than credible reports say that the movie is titled ‘Krrish 3: Mirror Mirror’.

A production source – in all probability some Twitter-happy fan who stalks the likes of Roshan on film sets and sandwich shops – tells the Times of India that the new film will be the darkest in the series, primarily due to a cut in budget and a resulting dearth of lighting, as well as featuring a violent twist; a despairing Roshan chopping off his extra digit, according to the previously mentioned less-than-credible source.

The source revealed the filmmakers will take inspiration from the third installment of the Spiderman series starring Toby Maguire; a slightly odd source of inspiration given the fact the movie was roundly derided, except for Spidey’s much more ‘badass’ black suit.

What’s more, the already ethereal Kangana Ranaut will play ‘an alien’ in the film who, with the help of an army of erm, aliens, will create ‘havoc’ in Krrish’s life, much to his chagrin.

Silly of old Krrish. I mean, if you look like Kangna Ranaut, ‘havoc’ is a definite step below nagging, alien or not.

Reports say the series has moved away from the usual formula to give the film an ‘edge’ over other superhero flicks like the risible RA.One although going by this evidence, it’s set to be as edgy as a jam doughnut.
